Stitch mcp get screen
Your coding agent designs terrible UI. stitch-kit wires it into Google Stitch MCP and teaches it the whole pipeline — ideation, screen generation, design systems, production components.

Retrieves full details of a specific Stitch screen — HTML download URL, screenshot URL, dimensions. This is the final step in design retrieval before code conversion.

Stitch MCP — Get Screen
Retrieves the full output of a Stitch-generated screen: the HTML source code URL and the screenshot image URL. This is the gateway between Stitch design and framework conversion.
Critical prerequisite
Only use this skill when the user explicitly mentions "Stitch".
If you already have both projectId AND screenId, call this directly — do not call get_project first.
When to use
- After
list_screenshas returned a screenId - User provides a Stitch screen URL and wants to convert it to code
- Retrieving assets for any conversion skill: Next.js, Svelte, HTML, React Native, or SwiftUI
Step 1: Parse IDs from context
The user may provide the screen reference in different formats:
| Input format | → projectId | → screenId |
|---|---|---|
projects/123/screens/456 | 123 | 456 |
https://stitch.withgoogle.com/projects/123?node-id=456 | 123 | 456 |
| Separate numeric IDs already known | Use as-is | Use as-is |
Step 2: Call the MCP tool
get_screen is mid-migration: name is the current identifier and takes the full resource path, while projectId and screenId are marked deprecated but are still required. Send all three.
{
"name": "get_screen",
"arguments": {
"name": "projects/3780309359108792857/screens/88805abc123def456",
"projectId": "3780309359108792857",
"screenId": "88805abc123def456"
}
}
The prefix rule differs per field, which is the whole reason this wrapper exists:
✅ name: "projects/3780309359108792857/screens/88805abc123def456"
❌ name: "88805abc123def456"
✅ projectId: "3780309359108792857"
❌ projectId: "projects/3780309359108792857"
✅ screenId: "88805abc123def456"
❌ screenId: "screens/88805abc123def456"
nameis the full path; the other two are bare. Omittingnamefails — it's required despite the deprecated pair still being mandatory too.
Output schema
{
"name": "projects/3780309359108792857/screens/88805abc123def456",
"htmlCode": {
"downloadUrl": "https://storage.googleapis.com/stitch-output/..."
},
"screenshot": {
"downloadUrl": "https://storage.googleapis.com/stitch-screenshots/..."
},
"figmaExport": {
"downloadUrl": "https://storage.googleapis.com/stitch-figma/..."
},
"width": 390,
"height": 844,
"deviceType": "MOBILE"
}
Step 3: Download the HTML reliably
AI fetch tools frequently fail on Google Cloud Storage URLs. Use the bash script:
bash scripts/fetch-stitch.sh "[htmlCode.downloadUrl]" "temp/source.html"
Always quote the URL to handle special characters.
Step 4: Determine framework and route to conversion
After retrieving the screen, check what the user wants to do with it.
Check the deviceType in the response first — it shapes which options to suggest:
deviceType | Sensible defaults to suggest |
|---|---|
DESKTOP | Next.js, Svelte, HTML |
MOBILE | Next.js (PWA), Svelte, HTML, React Native, SwiftUI |
AGNOSTIC | Any |
Then route based on user intent:
| User intent | → Load skill |
|---|---|
| "Convert to Next.js", "React app", "App Router" | stitch-nextjs-components |
| "Convert to Svelte", "SvelteKit" | stitch-svelte-components |
| "Convert to HTML", "PWA", "Capacitor", "Ionic", "web app" | stitch-html-components |
| "React Native", "Expo", "iOS and Android", "cross-platform" | stitch-react-native-components |
| "SwiftUI", "Xcode", "native iOS", "iOS only" | stitch-swiftui-components |
| "Extract design system", "get the colors/fonts" | stitch-design-system |
| "Just show me the screenshot" | Present screenshot.downloadUrl |
| No framework mentioned, desktop design | Ask: Next.js, Svelte, or HTML? |
| No framework mentioned, mobile design | Ask: React Native, SwiftUI, or HTML (Capacitor)? |
